Moses Ezekiel
Portrait of a Lost Artist
The provocative story of a Jewish sculptor whose career became inextricably linked to the toxic "Lost Cause" myth of the Confederacy.
The Story
In recent years, hundreds of Confederate monuments and memorials have been taken down throughout the United States, largely in response to the Black Lives Matter movement and related protests against the Civil War’s bitter legacy of slavery and racism. But who knew that one of the nation’s most controversial Confederate monuments was created by an internationally famous Jewish sculptor who had fought for the Confederacy as a young soldier?
